Hey, what's wrong with Rocket Science lol?If music can influence us even when we are in a near-unconscious state, then what does that tell you about the power of music?People immediately assume that because one falls asleep to music that a) the music must suck or b) the listener is not paying attention to the music played before them. What if it was the musicians intention to put the listener to sleep in order to ultimately send them to a different realm of experience? What the hell is "full-attention" anyways? I don't our minds are so absolute that they can give this so-called "full-attention". What is being asked of listeners (and should be asked) is what have they discerned from the music?

I have to agree with this. For a couple of reasons. When I'm trying to write, I have a hard time durning the day and my mind not being clear of other things. It doens't matter if the television is on in the background or family members arguing in the next room. When I'm falling alseep or almost close to being unconsious, it's easier to write stuff. It doesn't matter if it's lyrics or poems.
